fever ray

As this week marks the tenth birthday of Karin Dreijers first solo debut as Fever Ray, we collected three memorable facts that changed in her life and music during this decade, defining her as one of the most adventurous and surprising artists of these times. If you haven't explored her music yet this is the right time to do so.

Besides having one of Europe's strongers musical line-ups the Primavera Sound in Barcelona is also one of the best organized open air events, despite being such a huge one. Here's why we had such a great time.

The beloved open air event in Germany delivers yet another outstanding line-up including The xx, Florence + The Machine, Fever Ray, Jon Hopkins, Tune-Yards, Tyler, The Creator, Cigarettes After Sex, Little Dragon and many more. Time to raise excitement with a really special mixtape.

Following a four year long absence we're happy to be finally back in Barcelona, reporting from Europe's best festivals with the most impressive line-up, including pretty much all of your favourite bands. But even if you won't be making it to the festival in person the Primavera Sound will bring you some of 2018's finest performances directly into your living room.

It's recap time, everybody! While 2017 hasn't been the best year for many aspects of our daily life, the level of high quality musical output remained a satisfying one. So, without further ado, please enjoy our ultimate 'Despacito'-free ranking of this year's best tunes.
